Comment from Dawn Munro
I loved this poem! POV of the cricket ball and it's priceless! "My leather hide has stitches loose this causes drag in my caboose..." What a charming line, as are all of them.

LOL- Enjoyed this poetic message. Wasn't sure, at times, that it was a worn and weathered baseball talking. Many old men I know could easily slip into this description! lol Well written, reads smoothly with good rhythm and flow. No errors found here. Thanks, Betty

Comment from Connie C
Did you know that I love poems that personify things? And I absolutely love this one, Sweetie. Poor old leather ball has seen its day, is full of memories, and even knows a swear word or two. What a great picture to go along with this too. I feel so sorry for the poor battered ball--looks like he used to be a pretty boy. I'm so glad you see you posting something, always makes my day and gives me a smile. One thing I wondered, though: can a ball have a caboose? Thanks for sharing this; a joy to read!
Lots of hugs,
Connie xoxoxo

Awww thanks Connie...this leather hide full of sass got mixed reactions and some thought him a little rude.
I don't give a f**k. Neither did he.
Loved your sixer review and thank you so much. Now for the record, if it sags and its near the back it constitutes a caboose. Hahahahaha
Love you

Some of the lines in this piece caused me to laugh out loud. If a worn-out old baseball could talk, I cannot imagine it saying anything different You've done it justice and more. This is an enjoyable and witty piece of writing! The rhyming is awesome, too.

Comment from Spitfire
Okay, I know this is about a ball, but some of it describes us old folks. So great metaphor. Favorite lines:
my seam is cracked
from being pounded, hurled or whacked
by every Harry
Tom and Dick,
and one called Pete, that nasty prick
Love the new pic. Hope that's a sticker on your face and not a tattoo.

Comment from Earl of Oxford
Hi, P
The cricket ball in the artwork looks like one the Aussies have bowled at the English opening batsmen for about TWO overs - smashed up by their bats and the stand roofs. Haha.
It also looks like my ex-wife when she smiled!
Your brilliant humour and petic talent in rhyme and meter always amazes me and has me in hysterics.
You weave and play with words in your own unique and masterful way.
WONDERFUL, and well worth my 'sixer'

Comment from cvcopac
'Snick' it, huh? Even if? Only? Some gritty personification, P, and most eloquent: mostly, as a matter of a fact. Half-way through I couldn't differentiate 'tween autobiographical and the ball. The meter through the tercets has perfect balance; the rhyme is couplets (tricky layout) and emotions switch from soft to hard, to soft, then hard again. Great syntax. Kick ass verse. Kenny
PS: A virtual six here, maybe more.
